MCAA Symposium
Thank you to our friends from the Marine Corps Aviation Association, as we recently had the opportunity to attend their Symposium in Dallas. We are always grateful for this opportunity to share our work and Sugar Bear's story, but it is even more special to be among our Marine Corps family.
Help Continue Sugar Bear's Legacy - Your Donations Are Appreciated
We are honored to once again partner with the Marine Corps Association and to raise funds in honor of Sugar Bear for the families who have given their all and for Sugar Bear's beloved Marine Corps. This May through July, we are asking our friends to help us continue our mission by donating in honor of Sugar Bear's Birthday, Memorial Day, or registering for Sugar Bear's Virtual Memorial Run, which will take place on July 22nd.
For our friends in the Chapel Hill area on July 22nd, we ask you to join us at Raising Cane's for a special fundraiser being held.
All of these funds go towards our programming for the families that have been left behind to provide the support programs that are helping them re-start and re-shape their lives. We greatly appreciate the help in taking part, donating, and or sharing these events and our work. Thank you.

Programs
Our Team is constantly working to update and evolve our programming to best meet the ever-changing needs of our families. It is important to us that we grow with our families and their busy schedules. We know our families face great challenges after losing their service members and our approach is always holistic. We place a great emphasis on financial stability and overall wellness. As such we try to provide programs and opportunities that help our families achieve these goals.
Virtual Library
We know our families are busy, so to best equip them with resources, tools, and more support, we are now recording our various workshops, information sessions, and seminars. Registered families will be able to access these recordings at their leisure. For any questions or to learn more about the library contact our Admin@thesugarbearfoundation.org.
